    The Value Sweet Spot in the iPad line

    As of this writing, and most especially if you obtain this when on sale (during the thanksgiving week BB sold this for $430), a 32G LTE-enabled iPad Air (*not* Air2) is the price-performance sweet spot in Apple's iPad line. 32G's a fair amount of storage. The Air 2 is only slightly thinner/lighter and marginally faster if at all than the Air. Do the math for yourself and patient scout for sale time.

    Great Upgrade

    This is an upgrade from my previous iPads. I had an iPad 1 and iPad 2, and I've used every version. This is by far the best iPad I've owned or used. The light weight of the iPad makes a significantly better to use, especially for extended periods of time. The lighter weight doesn't sacrifice battery life, which is fantastic. Its also extremely quick when loading web pages or playing games. The only downside is that extensive multitasking can be slow or occasionally cause the iPad to reboot.

    This new iPad is faster, lighter and has a much sharper display than our older iPad. Definitely would recommend this model or the mini version.

    Great option if this is your first ipad or if you have an ipad 2 or earlier with the slower cell service and non retina screen. The retina screen is beautiful, the processor is super fast, and the device is very slim and light. Very comfortable to hold, but the side bezels are a little narrow if reading (you have to be careful not to flip a page by accidentally touching the screen). It also comes free with the apple productivity suite (pages, numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, iMovie, and garage band) which are great.

    Beautiful tablet...lighter and faster than my old ipad 2, and of course a clearer screen. It's speed really does make a difference, eg on projects with many PDFs to open. I was intending to buy the retina mini, but at the last moment got this, and am so glad I did... It's weight and width decrease makes it somewhat 'mini' anyway, at least for me. And honestly, with middleaged eyes I do not think Id be happy with a much smaller screen

    Ran out of storage on my IPad 2; upgraded to this and just love the speed. Can't imagine any further improvements possible.

    This is an addition to my ipad mini, and the quality of the screen and speed of the processor is really amazing! One word of caution, if you travel a lot like me and want to turn cellular data off and on, you NEED to use the prepaid (built-in) option. There are charges to activate and deactivate if you put it on your regular Verizon phone bill. There are no additional charges for prepaid service and it works very smoothly.

    The I-pad air is an improvement on previous versions but not so much so that I would recommend upgrading. If you need a new tablet then get the I-Pad air but if you have a relatively new I-Pad then it isn't worth the expense.

    I just bought this iPad Air for a Christmas gift. I had it set up in minutes using my old Apple ID. The screen resolution is amazing, as is the speed. It is 10x faster than my original iPad. It is used for personal, as well as for business. If you are in the market for an iPad, the Air is highly recommended. Lightweight and very powerful.

    The retinal display is fabulous for old eyes. This iPad is much faster than my previous version. However the staff was not always the best at applying the screen saver and had to change it 3 times.
